1. The Value of Hard Work

Governor Walker discusses his forward-thinking reforms to remove barriers to work and expand job training programs in this video filmed for the Foundation of Government Accountability.

In the video, Governor Walker notes:

“We need to get people back on track to that, knowing that it is in our human instinct to want to work – to want to be fulfilled in our labor and our employment.

There are a lot of people who want to work, but the government has put up too many barriers.

I often say, nobody dreams of being dependent on the government. When someone has a job they have peace of mind, there’s pride. There’s pride in their family and there’s pride in their friends, and we want to empower people to do that…

The ultimate freedom is controlling your own life and setting your own destiny through work.”

“Stand for the American flag and the national anthem out of respect for those who risk their lives for our freedoms, and then take a stand against domestic violence to keep American families safe. That’s something we can all agree on, and that just might help the NFL reunite with many of its devoted fans.”
